Every month, we fill the pages of Masonry magazine with insightful features, thought-provoking columns, brand new products and news from across the nation. Much of the editorial is generated in-house, but associations, manufacturers and our magazine's readers provide many items as well. We want to thank everyone for the information and images that are sent in to Masonry, and want to encourage others to participate also.

Masonry is always looking for great buildings, events and other masonry images for the cover of our magazine. Cover images can be submitted as original, hard copy 8x10s or 8x12s or scanned onto a CD and mailed to the address below. If a photographer outside of your organization took the picture, be sure you have permission to publish the image on the cover of our magazine.
